I'll concede lack of migration in general.
which leaded that after upgrade to F22 i stared to a more or less
default KDE with all customizations gone, at that point not working
systray, all quickstarters where gone, menu-entries for the most used
applications did no longer work because missing "ksystraycmd" and the
first thing i faced where crashes and error messages like a star wars movie
I'd argue removing old configs would be bad though, so -1 on
that
suggestion.
after a succesful migration they have to go away or at least get
collected in a own folder where it is clear that this is old stuff

darw me a clear picture "dolphin", "konqueror (as file manager)" and
"folder-view" what is using what (besides missing translations for
folderview which *seems* to be KDE5 because it don't care about my
service-menus and settings from konqueror)

* *became* a mess? It's no messier than kde4 was
*nothing* is clearer when applications are throwing multiple singel
files around instead sit in a folder named like the application
and since thats all more or less KDE point me to the part of xdg specs
which forbid "/kde5/application-name/"-structures
a *clear* layout would have been
~/.local/share/kde5/appname/
~/.config/kde5/appname/
which makes it easy replicate or backup/restore settings as well as get
rid of old files after you made sure "appname2 was migrated to KF5
